Using Fujitsu Cobol -- Setting up a Project

1. Open the project manager: You can do this from the start bar. It is under Fujitsu COBOL 4.0
2. Click on File and select Open project. Choose a new name for the project -- make sure that you are in the directory that contains the data file for the project.

   You will see a dialog box asking you to confirm that you want to make a new project.

3. With the project name selected (It is at the top left hand corner of the main window), right click on the project name.

   Select new file. You will see an icon appear just below the project name. The text NewFILE.EXE is highlighted. Change it to the name that you want for the executable. Choosing program_name.exe is probably a good idea.

4. Now right click with this new name highlighted. This time pull right on New Folder and choose COBOL Source file
5. Highlight COBOL Source file and right click again. Select New File. The fourth item in the chain appears, with the name New File.COB highlighted. Choose a name for the source file -- program_name.cbl is probably good enough.
6. Lastly, with the source file name high lighted right click once more and select Main Program
7. Save the project. You are now ready to start writing the file program_name.cbl. You have set up the project!
